Broc and I took a trip to MOTT to see Ortho about Brocs knee that keeps giving out. We had X-rays to make sure nothing was broken or there was a bone spur causing him pain. His knee has been giving out and now his ankle has started too. Ortho recommended lots of PT for strengthening. Broc already does PT once a week so we will just include that in his PT schedule. They think he has the beginnings of Ehlers Danlos Type 3. The same disease I have. Both boys will be evaluated for this next year as the Dr is very full.
On another note we are finally treating Broc for campylobacter. He has been dealing with this bacteria since Feb. We have already tried one antibiotic for it and it never worked so we are trying one that is very strong. He could get c diff from this but we are keeping up with his pro biotics to help with this. This ABX does make him feel sick but only for a short while. We are really hoping this cures his campylobacter as it does cause him a lot of pain and discomfort. He has also lost 3 pounds due to not eating. Both boys are dealing with a cold virus too so he has a lot going on right now. Spending the weekend lying in the couch watching movies with his brother.
Thank you everyone for your kind words, love and support.
